Thanks for the only post that actually addressed the topic... And really, thanks. I'm probably just going to work on D&D stuff for now, but will consider getting a beginner source sometime and maybe branch out to different styles. Of all the stuff I see on YouTube, though, D&D stuff is my fav.

I'm considering purchasing Believe and thought of an interesting topic for discussion: Would make Believe your opener or finale? As Joel says it seems to be a great way to take down barriers and make people realize you're not doing stupid "my nephew showed me that" tricks, but it sure would be...

You left out the Trilogy. And all in all, this poll is kind of silly since few people own more than a few of these.

It may be 08/08/08 where you live but not in California. (Which I understand may be about twelve hours apart given that the language on your web site looks a little slavic/turkish? Edit: Egypt, I see. Should have known.

Mind telling us the language the site is in? As a novice site designer myself I'll tell you what you've got there is excellent. Of course it needs a little content, but the style is smooth and navigation seamless. One note: I found the music on the video very anticlimactic, which is very...

I've already read this and it is what gave me the "second thoughts". It's written for beginners; I'm not a beginner. I just haven't done the beginner stuff, so I'm a bit confused as to where to go from here.

Sounds good to me. Now all you have to do is convince Theory11.

I think the question of teaching vs. exposing is interesting but, for me at least, simple. If I think the person in question really wants to learn the trick and is willing to put some good effort into it, then I'll go ahead and show them. To date, I've never shown anyone anything. Education...

Before finding this site I was a semi-magician. I could riffle shuffle and do simple things like that, as well as a little self working magic. I came to this site and saw the Trilogy: "WOW," I thought. "I really want to do that." Little did I know I was getting into expert stuff, when the proper...

I see a very clear difference between "regular" and "underground" magic, as the latter seems to be called. Before I stumbled on this web site (forget how) I had never experienced underground magic, but after seeing it really like the new style and almost... self respect this style has. It...

I've had a little of this problem, too, though I'm guessing that it has more to do with our presentation skills (or at least mine) than the potency of the actual trick. We'll see as time goes on; I may have to change my review.

You can download specific 1-on-1's that are from the Trilogy, but you cannot get the Trilogy material itself via download; it has to come through the mail. Most of their stuff is worth the $5, but that would add up really quick...

They (magic and cardistry) are simply two different animals. With flourishes you are simply executing difficult moves, with magic you are preforming while doing the moves. (And yeah, a good magician will be preforming while doing flourishes, too, but no one can argue that a trick will take more...

Yeah, I just replaced your name with that since you like Real Time so much. Justa little joke. :)

I recently wrote a review for FOUR, the only 1-on-1 I own: Kristian's review of FOUR. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them on that thread.

Hey- Have you preformed it yet? How'd it go? Question- In difficulty, how would this compare to D&D's tricks like Deja Vu, Hoffzy Ouzbourne, and Collectors, etc? About the same? Easier? Harder, heaven forbid? I just had a thought- what if you used this in conjunction with JP's Fan Control...

After reading your post and thinking about it I changed my mind about the trick and revised the review. Yay. So if this had been on Penguin or E it would have been twice as much? Wow. That's pretty cool. (For me, getting the $5 price.) Yeah, Real Time is very, very nice, and very, very...

Correct; WERM isn't on there, but it teaches everything you need to know to do commercial. (Riffle force & click change). So I'd say the WERM is the only thing missing.

1. Does 10 days sound good? 2. No. In fact, I think the routine should be performed for a spectator. 3. I would say yes, but since I don't have those extensions that would give you a one-up on me. Two other rules: Judges shall rate from the laymen's perspective, and the tricks don't have to...

I was initially interested in this trick because of its kicker ending and how it would provide a good way to get into Deja Vu, Hoffzy Ozbourne, or one of my other tricks involving a four of a kind. Before I even bought this trick I knew the method was going to be simple, but I couldn't figure...
